Macron asks for invitation to BRICS summit – media​

The French president would be the first Western leader to sit in on the gathering of emerging economies
French President Emmanuel Macron has asked South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for an invitation to the upcoming BRICS summit in Pretoria, French newspaper L’Opinion reported on Monday. Macron’s recent attempts to win over his African counterparts have fallen flat.

Macron raised the possibility of attending the summit during a phone call with Ramaphosa earlier this month, L’Opinion stated, citing sources in the Elysee palace.

According to one “well-informed” source, Ramaphosa was non-committal. “Presence at this summit was mentioned during the conversation between the two leaders, but Pretoria gave no indication of whether or not to extend this meeting to other international leaders,” the source said.

I recall it was also the French who wanted their money back in Gold in 1971 which was the straw that broke the Camel's back. It forced Nixon to stop the convertability between US dollar and gold which ended the Bretton Woods system and lead to the current waning Petrodollar Era.

The majority of labor is "forced"

Shoveling cow manue and washing dishes by kids are totally fine... no end product to write a stupid articles about

"Dreier estimates that some 250,000 children have crossed into the U.S. without their parents in the last two years, and that the majority of them wind up working full-time jobs."

Ironically, if you are old enough, this is actually how stores were at least 40+ years ago. Everything was at the back, and you'd fill out some forms and pass it to a clerk to help fetch them for you and then ring you up.

Wal-Mart was one of the pioneers of the "self-service" concept, they didn't think theft/"shrinkage" would be a big problem. I guess they had a good run.

That being said, Wal-Mart has always been a big supporter of technology, so this might spur some kind of service robot adoption
